Yep, I need to know ahead of time. I would completely understand as a player myself. The thing I ask myself if a DM decided to  DM-fiat a whole rule-set and basically change the game I thought  I was going to be playing is if I want to actually be playing  in that game that now becomes another animal that can be changed at the whim of the DM to suit his/her style.I have done it both ways with all the supplements and limiting them. As a DM it's much harder to keep track of what could essentially be broken or overpowered in a game. As a player with too many options I feel that it takes away from the actual playing and enjoying of the game. I was constantly looking up things from 15 different splat books to try to optimize my stuff instead of immersing myself in the story.</blockquote>
